Laughlin Hotel Forest Grove

Title

Laughlin Hotel Forest Grove

Description

Picture of a three story wood building at the corner of Pacific Avenue and A Street. This building was built in 1898 with the front of the building facing A Street. The front looks to be divided into thirds as there are two sections that are set back from the front. The middle section has a sign LAUGHLIN HOUSE and a square pyramid hip roof with each side coming together to make a point. The two outside sections each have a gable roof. There is a covered porch with four columns and the steps are the width of the porch. There is an open porch above the roof for the second story. A dormer is on the left side roof facing Pacific Avenue. There is a two horse buggy alongside the front steps facing away from the camera. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands beside the buggy as if talking to someone in the buggy. The Laughlin House later became Hotel Oregon and was dismantled and burned in 1959. The top of a water tower can be seen on the right behind some trees. The top is square with square sides and the four sided square pyramid hip roof comes together at the top with a copula..
